As the town hall shouting matches grow ever more distant and “Obama’s Waterloo” strategy continues to recede into oblivion, the right-wing party has become the ‘party of no’, no cooperation, no ideas ... http://www.soapblox.com/wp-commentsrss2.php?p=220 http://www.soapblox.com/index.php?p=217 http://www.soapblox.com/index.php?p=217#comments Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:02:39 +0000 General http://www.soapblox.com/index.php?p=217 Remember Betsy McCaughey?
